Introduction: All experts of development, especially rural development emphasize the villager’s participation in rural development. They consider development of the village to be impossible without villagers’ participation and believe that any improvement should begin from the villagers themselves and all people must participate in it. Development should meet social, cultural, ethical etc, needs; this way development plans receive attention and people’s participation in different stages is attracted. Accordingly, the administrative staff staying in villages are on the hand reciprocal collective identity systems expressing old and new collective identities using crucial cultural and symbolic elements and on the other hand are mediators who bring the villages needs and requirements to the public thus setting the grounds to express their problems. Taking this approach, the present study aims at investigating the role of social-economic participation of administrative staff staying in the villages of Hamoon parish.

Introduction: Iran has always been vulnerable to natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, drought, earth quake etc. 31 out of 40 world disasters are happened in our country therefore Iran is located in the list of first 10 natural disaster-prone country in the world. The country of Iran, with an average annual rainfall of less than one-third of the world average, is located in arid and semiarid regions and has always been prone to drought conditions and also is confronted every few years with it. Over the past 40 years, 27 droughts have occurred in Iran, which seems to be a real facts of climate in the country.

Introduction: Over the past years, drought has inflicted considerable damage on the agriculture sector and on rural society in Iran. During the past decade, emphasis has shifted from combating natural conditions and occurrences to adapting to their reality and coping and ‘co-habiting’ with them, a capacity focused on in this study under the term ‘resilience’. Resilience is the capacity of a system, community or society to resist threats or to modify its components in order to achieve its goal or to maintain its movement and progress with an acceptable level of structure and functionality when exposed to potential risks. The objective of this research has been to examine the factors and variables affecting the resilience of an agricultural community in drought prone areas in Isfahan Province, and to present an appropriate model of resilience for drought conditions.

Introduction: The experience of development process in developed countries revealed that rural development is a basic requirement for national development and it should be considered and given high priority.

Therefore, the thesis aims at assessing and ranking indicators for sustainable development in rural areas in the Central district of Boyer- Ahmad county, Iran.
